I am attempting to run an unsteady computation using interpreted UDF in parallel batch mode. I have the following simple UDF, which works fine when interpreted in the ansys GUI:

#include "udf.h"
DEFINE_PROFILE(unsteady_velocity, thread, position)
{
face_t f;
real t = CURRENT_TIME;
begin_f_loop(f, thread)
{
F_PROFILE(f, thread, position) = (0.33-0.033) + 0.033*cos(3.14159265359*2.*10.*t);
}
end_f_loop(f, thread)
}

It is a 2D computation so I use the following to call my journal file:

fluent 2ddp -t$nprocs -pinfiniband -cnf=$PBS_NODEFILE -g -i < ../run.input.transient.txt

And my journal file is:

define/user-defined/interpreted-functions "udf_unsteadyXinlet.c" "gcc" 10000 no
file/read-case ../Input/transientInlet_0001dt_033mps.cas
file/read-data ../Input/transientInlet_0001dt_033mps.dat

solve/dual-time-iterate 1000
exit yes

I receive the following error output:

Cleanup script file is /home/vtyler/Output/cleanup-fluent-nr107-2344.sh

Also in my console output, I get the following:

Reading "../Input/transientInlet_0001dt_033mps.dat"...

Parallel variables...
Error: chip-exec: function "unsteady_velocity" not found.

Despite the errors, the code runs and outputs the solution, but it is clear the velocity boundary condition is not correct.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Put the UDF in the FLUENT working directory («.», not «../Input/»)?

Thanks for the reply.

What is meant by the "Working Directory"?

Here is my full script setting up the parallel processing:

#!/bin/bash

#PBS -l nodes=1pn=24
#PBS -l walltime=80:00:00
#PBS -q normal_q
#PBS -A TtProbes
#PBS -W group_list=newriver
#PBS -N transient_CFD
#PBS -m bea
#PBS -M anonymous@vt.edu

cd \Output

module load ansys

nprocs=`wc -l $PBS_NODEFILE | awk '{ print $1 }'`
fluent 2ddp -t$nprocs -pinfiniband -cnf=$PBS_NODEFILE -g -i < ../run.input.transient.txt

exit
yes

I am assuming here my working directory is \Output and this is where my UDF is located. Also, I have reason to suspect its finding the UDF where its located since it will give me an error message if I intentionally put a bad line in the udf script.

Thanks again

Hello,
I am facing the exact issue? Do you remember how did you solve the problem?
Thank you

Prefer compilation. Since this is a Linux system, gcc is available. Just compile it. It will work.
